There's a late 59 Mini for sale on that auction site at the moment and the seller has a pic of the cars Heritage certificate.
The body number is 7243 and it was built very late December 1959.
So I'm presuming there's a good chance that your example is a 59 car if your body number is below or very close to the above quoted number.
Hope the above rambling helps.

Ian,

Email me the info but if the chassis number is in the 7ks it's looking very likely it's a 59 build.
